Congratulations to Dan Le Batard, who you say has the most terrifying ESPN: The Magazine mugshot.

Who Would Win In A Fight: Bill Simmons or Malcolm Gladwell?
After what had been a considerable hiatus, our boy Bill Simmons is cranking out his Curious Guy segments like crazy these days.

Barry Bonds Is Ready For His Closeup, ESPN
Call us cynical, but we've been mulling over this whole Barry Bonds-in-drag thing that occurred at the Giants spring training practice field on Tuesday. Upon further review, we smell a very large and stinky rat. This, you see, was a very un-Barry-like thing to do. Whatever Barry is about, he is no...
